That's a good point. And I didn't mean to suggest Zope2 itself was a brand, just that the "Zope" brand could be improved by clarifying its offerings. Anyway, I can probably live with "Zope" being synonymous for "Zope 2 application server" (like regebro says, it is the status quo.) In which case, the "brand" becomes synonymous with its most famous offering.
